Antidistortion method for wavelet transform filter banks and nonstationary power system waveform harmonic analysis
Van-Long Pham, K.P. Wong · IEE Proceedings - Generation Transmission and Distribution · 2001
A method is presented for eliminating the effect of imperfect frequency response of the filters in wavelet transform (WT) filter banks, and a WT-based algorithm for harmonic analysis of nonstationary power system waveforms. The method recovers the signal magnitude, which is distorted due to the imperfect response of filters. The WT-based algorithm is then developed. The algorithm is incorporated with the above antidistortion method to give accurate harmonic magnitudes. The power and practicality of the algorithm are illustrated through its application for the diagnosis of a motor-starting problem, which occurred in the Western Australia power system.
